You don't have to spend time realizing that it's the same variable (not
e.g. SomeReallyLongVariableNameY) if you read the 1st form.
But you can mistake the "+=" for a ":=". Replacing one possible reading error

You can also mistake "." for ",", ">=" for "<=", or mix up "<>","><",
"<<" and">>" --
which are all valid but different symbols in FPC. This is quite a minor problem.
Code bloat/duplication is much more serious.
It is usually not just SomeReallyLongVariableNameY, but something like:
SomeFunctionReturningObject(param1, param2).PointArrayField[i] +=
FunctionReturningPointOffset(param);
Try rewriting that without "+=".
How is that defined?
I tried earlier to use += on a property => and got a compile error.
If it works like this for you, then obviously += work on some, but not
all properties? Interesting...
